Yeah, I'm trying to post more regularly. I haven't gotten my reminders set up in enough threads like I did back on the IG forums.

I do have a penchant for alliteration, though sometimes I squash it in favor of other rhythmic conceits. Basically if my sentences don't scan I consider myself a failure. Alas, they don't scan most of the time.

Two does not a plethora make, but it's a start.

I think that's part of what makes it a fun job. 'Course, I don't know that I'd necessarily trust people like me or my co-workers to do dental surgery... or handle my money.

Good comedy, painful bumps.

Hmm, I should bring in my Razor Scooter. That was my favorite thing about Insom... buzzing around the hallways on my scooter. 'Course, some of the hallways are pretty small, could make for collisions.

I'm doing another play-by-blog on my website, if anyone's interested in playing. (dodger.uselessopinions.com). I had a few people from the OE community come by last time, which was pretty neat. This one's gonna be called "Dames, Dollars, and Derringers" -- a noir-type story. Voting today is for the viewpoint character, first episode goes up on thursday. So if you want, come on over, register, and play the game.

That's awesome. I'll have to try some of those. I have to admit, though, the thing I like most about the ICB is that all you end up tasting is the Bailey's.

It's kind of like shotgunning a can, except you use a bendy straw to get the air into the bottle instead of poking a hole in the side. Basically, it makes it come out really fast and then you drink it all quickly. Glass of Guinness + (1/2 shot whiskey + 1/2 shot Bailey's) Drop the shot glass into the glass of Guinness and drink it all within 5 or so seconds. It's pretty good -- all you really end up tasting is the Bailey's.

I'm always down with the drinking. I just learned how to torpedo a bottle of beer a few weeks back -- that's some fun times, right there. My favorite drink is the "irish car bomb" which I highly recommend, if you're good at drinking quickly. [disclaimer]And, of course, if anyone reading this is not over 21 (or whatever the legal age is in your area) I would recommend not drinking at all[/disclaimer]

At the moment, my group is playing a lot of Dogs in the Vineyard. It's an amazing system for anyone who likes the narrativist style of play. Recently, we've been playing a lot of those and most of our group really likes them. We've also played Primetime Adventures and My Life With Master, which are in a similar vein, but much more focused. I highly recommend both.

I invented a drink I call "A Ton of Bricks." The latest version of it has three shots of raspberry vodka, two shots of triple-sec, and two shots of sour mix. You pour that into one of your big red plastic party cups and then fill the rest with Red Gatorade. The thing tastes like candy and hits.... like a ton of bricks. Anyway, that was the last drink I had.

I wondered the same thing. I was expecting her to run away with the votes!

Fortunately, it did win! Now people are choosing the character to play. I think I'm going to update it based on the winner sometime today. After that I'll be updating it on Mondays and Thursdays. Here's the link: http://dodger.uselessopinions.com/?cat=7 (that takes you right to the game) Or you can just check the general site page.

Indeed, indeed. I have a bad habit of only reading parts of threads. This wouldn't be the first time.

You TOTALLY did. I'll edit my post.

One thing you might want to do is get in touch with publishers. Obsidian, Bethesda -- they're developers. They do what you're doing, not publish. Example publishers are: Sega, Atari, Acclaim, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Capcom, Activision, EA, Vivendi/Universal... etc. Some of these publishers own developers, so I can see how it would be confusing. I've heard that if you have a demo you can take it to game conferences to meet with publishers there. I know they don't like to talk to people who don't have demos, though. Other than that, what Feargus said is how you can get in touch with them. The other option is to self-publish, or (as Briosafreak said) release the game as an indie title through peopel like Manifesto Games (www.manifestogames.com). The latter might be a good route for you, since Manifesto specializes in publishing indie creator-owned games.

Speaking of games (wow, what a segue -- I'm GOOD) I'm trying to set up a game on my site, and if anyone would like to participate, please feel free to check it out. http://dodger.uselessopinions.com/?p=29 Basically, it's like a massively multiplayer choose-your-own-aventure game. I want to play with how it works and see if I can't figure out a way to get more player interaction in there. Check out the post for more details, if you're interested in playing.

I saw Grindhouse last weekend. It was really good -- though I have to say I liked "Planet Terror" much more than "Death Proof." Death Proof was just too slow for me, especially after all the action in PT. I kind of wish they'd shown them backwards. I've heard they're gonna be splitting them up, though, so maybe people will have the option of seeing them that way.

I'd work on that game for FREE. ... well maybe for cheap.

1 - 41 (Spider Jerusalem for the win) 2 - 3 3 - 15 4 - 21 5 - 25 6 - 26 7 - 29 8 - 30 9 - 34 10 - 38 11 - 18 12 - 11 13 - 9 14 - 45 15 - 4 16 - 8

Well I'll do my best. I'll just have to lurk a while until I find some threads that pique my interest.

Glad to be here. I was always pretty active on the Insomniac boards -- and I think I'll miss it if I don't get my daily dose of fan interactions. Plus I can't miss any attempt to chat. I am compelled.

I feel like I should be concerned, and yet... the emoticons say otherwise.
